https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/28/business/trump-coat-of-arms.htmlIn the United States, the Trump Organization took Mr. Daviess coat of arms for its own, making one small adjustment replacing the word Integritas, Latin for integrity, with Trump.
Joseph D. Tydings, a Democrat and former United States senator from Maryland who is the grandson of Mr. Davies, learned that Mr. Trump was using the emblem, at least at Mar-a-Lago, when he visited the property. Mr. Trump had never asked permission.
There are members of the family who wanted to sue him, said Mr. Tydings, a lawyer who wears his familys coat of arms on a ring. This is the first Ive ever heard about it being used anywhere else.

I don't know. I saw the first few words, and my brain filled in the rest.

(15,805 posts)The lion symbolises bravery, nobility, royalty, strength, stateliness, and valour, but in Trump's version it has morphed into some kind of a weaselly looking critter. The weasel symbolises blabbermouths and sneaks, a rat, turncoat, deceiver and double-crossers.

(15,543 posts)this Trump coat-of-arms "animal" may become the republican-fascist uniform going forward, to be adorned with a little tin "made-by-slave-labor" flag lapel pin so republicans can pretend they are not Betraying the USA.
